The classical imprinting technology makes use of a high degree of crosslinking which does not allow the template molecules to move freely. So the binding sites, located in the central area of the three dimensional polymer matrix are hard to be accessed and the template molecules cannot be extracted totally. But here we propose a low crosslinked system with high specificity and selectivity. The imprinted and non-imprinted polymers were characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The extent of binding was followed by batch equilibration method and compared with the respective non-imprinted polymer. Conditions for maximum specific rebinding were set by altering certain factors like template/monomer ratio, concentration of template solution, rebinding medium, mass of polymer and time of incubation. The selectivity of the imprinted polymer was investigated by comparing the binding with structural analogues of 2,4-D like, phenoxyacetic acid (POA), 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPOA) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). The imprinted polymer exhibited high affinity towards the template molecule and was selectively rebound to the specific sites. The binding towards the structural analogues depends on the number of chlorine in the benzene ring.展开更多

LAA is well known to promote good me-tabolism, treat fatigue and depression along with its significance in accurate age estimation in the field of forensic science and is an important constituent of ‘aspartame’, the low calorie sweetener. In order to study the intermolecular interactions in the prepolymerization mixture between the monomer and the template (LAA)/non-template (DAA), a computational approach was developed. It was based on the binding energy of the complex between the template and functional monomer. The results demonstrate that electrostatic in-teractions primarily guide the imprinting protocol. The MIP was able to selectively and specifically take up LAA from aqueous solution, human blood serum and certain pharmaceutical samples quantitatively. Hence, a facile, specific and selective technique to detect the amino acid, LAA in the presence of various interfer-rants, in different kinds of matrices is presented.展开更多

Therefore, the research and analysis of atrazine are getting more important. In this work, the MIT was used to detect atrazine theoretically. Atrazine was taken as a template molecule. MAA, MMA and TFMAA were taken as the functional monomers, respectively. The geometry optimization, the nature of hydrogen bonds, the NBO charge, and the binding energies of the imprinted molecule with the functional monomers were investigated at the B3LYP/6-31g(d,p) level. Results indicated that atrazine had the strongest interaction with TFMAA. When the ratio of atrazine and TFMAA was 1:6, the amount of H-bond formed from atrazine and TFMAA was the largest. Moreover, TFMAA owned the largest binding energy with atrazine while MMA owned the smallest. The study is helpful to interpret experiment phenomena of molecular imprinting and select better functional monomers.展开更多

In this work, lysozyme imprinted polyacrylamide gel was prepared with silica particles as a sacrificial template to generate macro-porosity for fast adsorption. The adsorption equilibrium time and adsorption capacity were 9 h and 56 mg/g respectively, which was 2 h less and 2.3-fold more than polymers without the sacrificial template. In order to test molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) ' selectivity, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was chosen as interferent for binary adsorption tests. In addition, the adsorption selectivity was further investigated using different molar ratios of lysozyme to BSA with fixed total concentration of proteins, as well as using various total concentra- tions of proteins with an equimolar ratio of lysozyme to BSA. It has been proven that the total con- centration of proteins should be larger than 1.5 × 10^-7 mol/mL, when the molar ratio of BSA to Lyz is 1: 1, in order to effectively separate Lyz from the binary protein mixture. The macro-porous lyso- zyme molecularly imprinted polymers have less adsorption time, larger adsorption capacity, and bet- ter imprinting effect.展开更多

The PHN and AM were used as the template and functional monomer,respectively. The molecular electrostatic potential(MEP) was simulated for predicting the reactive sites. The atoms in molecules theory helped to reveal the imprinting mechanism and optimize the molar ratios for PHN and AM. The molecular imprinted polymers(MIPs) containing PHN were synthesized through the precipitation polymerization. The diameter range of the obtained MIPs was from 150 to 390 nm. According to the computational results,MIPs with the molar ratio of PHN and AM equal to 1:6 showed high selective adsorption for PHN. The apparent maximum adsorption quantity(Q_(max)) of MIPs toward PHN was 7.9 mg/g,and the Qmax of nonimprinted polymer microspheres(NIPs) was 3.2 mg/g. Herein,the studies can provide theoretical and experimental references for the controllable fabrication of MIPs.展开更多

Ciprofloxacin (CIP) was taken as the template molecule. The methacrylic acid (MAA), 4-vinyl pyridine (4-Vpy), acrylamide (AAM), and 2-(trifluoromethyl) acrylic acid (TFMAA) were taken as the functional monomers, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) at the LC-WPBE/6-31g(d,p) level has been adopted to investigate the geometry optimization. The NBO charge and the binding energies of CIP with the monomers were carried out. The molecular imprinting mechanism of CIP and the monomers as well as the influence of solvent was also discussed. Results indicate that CIP and the monomers are matchable in steric structure and chemical groups lead to ordered compounds. The interaction between CIP and TFMAA is the strongest, and when the ratio of CIP-TFMA_A is 1:6, the polymer has the lowest energy in toluene. The computational approach has been applied to provide details of interactions between CIP and the monomers. This research will hopefully shed light on the future study of CIP-MIPs.展开更多

Based on this study, using thymine as a template molecule, 9-vinyladenine as a novel functional monomer and diethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a new cross-linker, a specific diethylene glycol dimethacrylate-based molecularly imprinted polymeric membrane was prepared over a cellulose support. Then, the resultantly polymeric membrane morphologies were visualized with scanning electron microscopy and its permselectivity was examined using thymine, uracil, cytosine, adenine and guanine as substrates. This result showed that the imprinting polymeric membrane prepared with diethylene glycol dimethacrylate exhibited higher transport capacity for the template molecule thymine and its optimal analog uracil than other nucleic acid bases. The membrane also took on higher permselectivity than the imprinted membrane made with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a cross-linker. When a mixture including five nucleic acid bases thymine, uracil, cytosine, adenine and guanine passed through the diethylene glycol dimethacrylate-based thymine-imprinted polymeric membrane, recognition of the membrane for the template molecule thymine and its optimal analog uracil was demonstrated. It was predicted that the molecularly imprinted membrane prepared with diethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross-linker might be applicable to thymine assay of absolute hydrolysates of DNA or uracil assay of absolute hydrolysates of RNA in biological samples because of its high selectivity for the template molecule thymine and its optimal analog uracil.展开更多

Three ion-imprinted polymers were synthesized with methacrylic acid (MAA), acrylamide (AA) and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAA) respectively as the functional monomers, ethleneglycoldimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linking agent, 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator and Cu (II) ion as the imprint ion. The template Cu (II) ion was removed from the polymer by leaching with a liquid of a 1:1 volumetric ratio of HCl to ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The capacity and selectivity of Cu(II) ion adsorption were investigated with the three imprinted polymers and their non-imprinted counterparts. The polymers have a maximum adsorption capacity at pH 7.0. The isotherm of their batch adsorption of Cu(II) ions shows a Langmuir adsorption pattern. Imprinted polymers all have a much higher capacity and higher selectivity of Cu(II) adsorption than non-imprinted ones. MAA polymer benefits the most from imprinting. Imprinted MAA polymer has the highest selectivity when used to rebind Cu (II) ion from an aqueous solution in the presence of other metal ions. Ion imprinting can be a promising technique of preparing selective adsorbents to separate and preconcentrate metal in a medium of multiple competitive metal ions through solid phase extraction (SPE).展开更多

The classical imprinting technology makes use of a high degree of crosslinking which does not allow the template molecules to move freely. So the binding sites, located in the central area of the three dimensional polymer matrix are hard to be accessed and the template molecules cannot be extracted totally.

The extent of binding was followed by batch equilibration method and compared with the respective non-imprinted polymer. Conditions for maximum specific rebinding were set by altering certain factors like template/monomer ratio, concentration of template solution, rebinding medium, mass of polymer and time of incubation. The selectivity of the imprinted polymer was investigated by comparing the binding with structural analogues of 2,4-D like, phenoxyacetic acid (POA), 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPOA) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). The imprinted polymer exhibited high affinity towards the template molecule and was selectively rebound to the specific sites. The binding towards the structural analogues depends on the number of chlorine in the benzene ring.

文摘As a widely used herbicide, the threat of atrazine to both environment and health of people has become the focus. Therefore, the research and analysis of atrazine are getting more important. In this work, the MIT was used to detect atrazine theoretically. Atrazine was taken as a template molecule. MAA, MMA and TFMAA were taken as the functional monomers, respectively. The geometry optimization, the nature of hydrogen bonds, the NBO charge, and the binding energies of the imprinted molecule with the functional monomers were investigated at the B3LYP/6-31g(d,p) level. Results indicated that atrazine had the strongest interaction with TFMAA. When the ratio of atrazine and TFMAA was 1:6, the amount of H-bond formed from atrazine and TFMAA was the largest. Moreover, TFMAA owned the largest binding energy with atrazine while MMA owned the smallest. The study is helpful to interpret experiment phenomena of molecular imprinting and select better functional monomers.
文摘Molecular imprinting technology has a great potential to be used in protein separation and purification. In this work, lysozyme imprinted polyacrylamide gel was prepared with silica particles as a sacrificial template to generate macro-porosity for fast adsorption. The adsorption equilibrium time and adsorption capacity were 9 h and 56 mg/g respectively, which was 2 h less and 2.3-fold more than polymers without the sacrificial template. In order to test molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) ' selectivity, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was chosen as interferent for binary adsorption tests. In addition, the adsorption selectivity was further investigated using different molar ratios of lysozyme to BSA with fixed total concentration of proteins, as well as using various total concentra- tions of proteins with an equimolar ratio of lysozyme to BSA. It has been proven that the total con- centration of proteins should be larger than 1.5 × 10^-7 mol/mL, when the molar ratio of BSA to Lyz is 1: 1, in order to effectively separate Lyz from the binary protein mixture. The macro-porous lyso- zyme molecularly imprinted polymers have less adsorption time, larger adsorption capacity, and bet- ter imprinting effect.

文摘The interaction process between the phenobarbital(PHN) and acrylamide(AM) was studied using the M062X/6-31G(d,p) method. The PHN and AM were used as the template and functional monomer,respectively. The molecular electrostatic potential(MEP) was simulated for predicting the reactive sites. The atoms in molecules theory helped to reveal the imprinting mechanism and optimize the molar ratios for PHN and AM. The molecular imprinted polymers(MIPs) containing PHN were synthesized through the precipitation polymerization. The diameter range of the obtained MIPs was from 150 to 390 nm. According to the computational results,MIPs with the molar ratio of PHN and AM equal to 1:6 showed high selective adsorption for PHN. The apparent maximum adsorption quantity(Q_(max)) of MIPs toward PHN was 7.9 mg/g,and the Qmax of nonimprinted polymer microspheres(NIPs) was 3.2 mg/g. Herein,the studies can provide theoretical and experimental references for the controllable fabrication of MIPs.

文摘A molecular modeling approach was used to elucidate template-monomer interaction and the effect of solvent on the recognition of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). Ciprofloxacin (CIP) was taken as the template molecule. The methacrylic acid (MAA), 4-vinyl pyridine (4-Vpy), acrylamide (AAM), and 2-(trifluoromethyl) acrylic acid (TFMAA) were taken as the functional monomers, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) at the LC-WPBE/6-31g(d,p) level has been adopted to investigate the geometry optimization. The NBO charge and the binding energies of CIP with the monomers were carried out. The molecular imprinting mechanism of CIP and the monomers as well as the influence of solvent was also discussed. Results indicate that CIP and the monomers are matchable in steric structure and chemical groups lead to ordered compounds. The interaction between CIP and TFMAA is the strongest, and when the ratio of CIP-TFMA_A is 1:6, the polymer has the lowest energy in toluene. The computational approach has been applied to provide details of interactions between CIP and the monomers. This research will hopefully shed light on the future study of CIP-MIPs.
文摘The binding mechanism between 9-vinyladenine and pyrimidine base thymine in methanol was studied with UV-visible spectrophotometric method. Based on this study, using thymine as a template molecule, 9-vinyladenine as a novel functional monomer and diethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a new cross-linker, a specific diethylene glycol dimethacrylate-based molecularly imprinted polymeric membrane was prepared over a cellulose support. Then, the resultantly polymeric membrane morphologies were visualized with scanning electron microscopy and its permselectivity was examined using thymine, uracil, cytosine, adenine and guanine as substrates. This result showed that the imprinting polymeric membrane prepared with diethylene glycol dimethacrylate exhibited higher transport capacity for the template molecule thymine and its optimal analog uracil than other nucleic acid bases. The membrane also took on higher permselectivity than the imprinted membrane made with ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a cross-linker. When a mixture including five nucleic acid bases thymine, uracil, cytosine, adenine and guanine passed through the diethylene glycol dimethacrylate-based thymine-imprinted polymeric membrane, recognition of the membrane for the template molecule thymine and its optimal analog uracil was demonstrated. It was predicted that the molecularly imprinted membrane prepared with diethylene glycol dimethacrylate as cross-linker might be applicable to thymine assay of absolute hydrolysates of DNA or uracil assay of absolute hydrolysates of RNA in biological samples because of its high selectivity for the template molecule thymine and its optimal analog uracil.

文摘Imprinted polymers were prepared for selective removal of Cu(II) ions from metal solutions. Three ion-imprinted polymers were synthesized with methacrylic acid (MAA), acrylamide (AA) and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAA) respectively as the functional monomers, ethleneglycoldimethacrylate (EGDMA) as the cross-linking agent, 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator and Cu (II) ion as the imprint ion. The template Cu (II) ion was removed from the polymer by leaching with a liquid of a 1:1 volumetric ratio of HCl to ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The capacity and selectivity of Cu(II) ion adsorption were investigated with the three imprinted polymers and their non-imprinted counterparts. The polymers have a maximum adsorption capacity at pH 7.0. The isotherm of their batch adsorption of Cu(II) ions shows a Langmuir adsorption pattern. Imprinted polymers all have a much higher capacity and higher selectivity of Cu(II) adsorption than non-imprinted ones. MAA polymer benefits the most from imprinting. Imprinted MAA polymer has the highest selectivity when used to rebind Cu (II) ion from an aqueous solution in the presence of other metal ions. Ion imprinting can be a promising technique of preparing selective adsorbents to separate and preconcentrate metal in a medium of multiple competitive metal ions through solid phase extraction (SPE).

文摘Surfactant enhanced elution is an effective method for removing hydrophobic organic pollutants from soils.The key to the development of leaching technology is selective removal of targeted pollutants in soil washing effluent and recycling of surfactant solutions.In this study,a molecular imprinting technique was applied to selectively sorb polybrominated diphenyl ethers(PBDEs)in soil washing effluent.The novel molecular imprinted polymers(MIPs)using different template molecules were synthesized by precipitation polymerization.Adsorption behaviors andmechanisms ofMIPs were studied through experiments and theoretical calculations.The results show that 4-bromo-4'-hydroxybiphenyl and toluene can be effective imprinting molecule for MIPs synthesis.The maximal adsorption capacity of selected dummy molecular imprinted polymer(D1-MIP)was 1032.36μmol/g,and that of part molecular imprinted polymer(P-MIP)was 981.13μmol/g.Their imprinting factors in 5 PBDEs adsorption ranged from 2.13 to 5.88,the recovery percentage of Triton X-100 can reach 99.09%,confirming the feasibility of reusing surfactant.Various PBDEs could be removed by MIPs,and Quantitative Structure Property Relationship analysis revealed that PBDEs’molecular volume,planarity,polarity,and hydrophobicity have major influences on their adsorption performance.DFT calculation revealed that Van derWaals force and hydrogen bonding played important roles during selective adsorption.These results can provide effective theoretical guidance for surfactant enhanced soil elution in practical engineering applications.

文摘Traditional detection of thiodiglycol(TDG),a metabolic marker for sulfur mustard poisoning,requires not only professional operators,but also expensive reagents and large instruments.Herein,we developed a novel molecular imprinted polymers(MIPs)-based lateral flow assay(LFA)strategy for the quick,sensitive,and selective detection of TDG.Gold nanoparticles(Au NPs),MIPs,and metallothioneins(MTs)were respectively loaded on the conjugate pad,test line(T line)and control line(C line).After adding TDG,Au NPs on the conjugate pad reacted with TDG through the Au-S bond first.Then,under the action of capillary force,the conjugates of TDG and Au NPs were trapped by the MIPs as they traveled to the T line,and the residual Au NPs bound with the MTs on the C line,exhibiting two obvious red bands on T line and C line,respectively.In contrast,a single red band could be observed on C line without TDG.This method exhibited a wide linear range from 10.0 pg/m L to 10,000.0 ng/m L and its limit of detection(LOD)was as low as 0.41 pg/m L.This method was successfully utilized to detect TDG in human urine,presenting significant potential in the point-of-care testing of TDG in clinical samples of the sulfur mustard poisoning patients.
